Description

PCAS-100A, PCA Stress Measuring Software

Combination with the PCD-400A or PCD-430A, the PCA Stress Measuring Software PCAS-100A is the dedicated software to test stress of PCA.

The PCAS-100A allows a beginner to test a PCA stress, analyze data, and create reports in accordance with IPC/JEDEC-9704A** .

** Evaluation method for PCA using strain gages is regulated by IPC/JEDEC-9704A and it is valid for quality evaluation or failure analysis.

Guidance

Catalog: Searches strain gages for PCA stress test.

Bonding: Describes the method of strain gage bonding on the PCB.

Monitor

Y-time Graphs:

  • X axis is time (s).
  • Y axis is strain (Uniaxial-gage, principal, diagonal)

Strain-rate Graphs: X axis is strain-rate, Y axis is maximum principal strain.
* Strain rate is the rate of change in strain per time.

Y Axis Range:

  • Auto-scale
  • Settable scale (×10-6 strain)
  • 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000, 2000, 5000, 10000, and 20000

Report

Report Types: Graph and tables.

Graph-reports: Y-time graphs, strain-rate graphs

Table-reports: Maximum principal strain, minimum principal strain, diagonal strain, and strain-rate

Clipboard: Copies graphs and tables.
Allows other application software to use the data.

Report Files: Allows report files (PCR format) to be saved, read and edited.
